New York Fashion Week, Spring 2009: Rebecca Taylor

What I enjoy about New York Fashion Week is directional designers, like Marc Jacobs and Phillip Lim, mixed with simply pretty, wearable designers like Rebecca Taylor. Rebecca incorporated some of the Spring trends we're seeing — laid back pants, layering and sparkles — but she also went in a hip hippie direction that was very desirable. I quite fancy the muted animal prints, the ruffled jackets, wearable jodhpurs (they're back!) and wildflower prints. Not to mention her bedazzled handbags and safari-ready perforated boots. The Indian block print got old pretty fast, and let's please ditch the hippie headbands already, but really, I want it all.

this collection is so fun and flirty - which is my primary style. the silver dress (the second picture), and the red dress (the third picture) are my favorite, but like all the pieces. I totally agrre though about the hippie headband - so annoying...
